baby praying mantis

I have a bunch of these little guys in my front yard. I love this time of year, just because I get to watch them grow!

I'd mist the enclosure like you would a day gecko's. The drink off of the leaves. Feed it small crickets. They grow pretty fast, take a look;

It's a Chinese mantid if it's brown. They start off unbelievably small.

You never know what color they will turn at that size. I've found all green ones before but usually they come in a brown and green color.

They're usually brown with a green stripe on each side of the wing covers.
